Why dive here
With 267+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, nurse sharks, orcas and sea turtles - Brown’s Bay offers some of St. Vincent's richest reef diving. Water sits around 28°C.
El Peñon offers a longer reef system, often broken into a few dive spots, all sitting around 13 meters. It’s a bit of a boat ride out from Punta Cana, which means fewer divers and a calmer experience once you’re in the water. We usually see a good variety of the usual Caribbean suspects here – nurse sharks often resting under ledges, barracuda hanging in the blue, and plenty of snapper and parrotfish going about their day. Visibility averages around 19 meters, so you’ll get a clear view of the coral formations and any passing hawksbill turtles or stingrays gliding by. It’s a good option for divers looking for a more relaxed dive away from the crowds, without super deep depths.
